About The Event

Udaan - E-Cell at Fortune Institute of International Business (FIIB),New Delhi, India is pleased to announce the 5th edition of the annual international Business Plan Competition (BPC) - Meraki 2016 which is scheduled to be held on 29th and 30th of January, 2015 at FIIB Campus, New Delhi.

It has been observed that most student business ideas fail due to lack of an appropriate supporting platform. Udaan, the Entrepreneurship Cell of FIIB tries to support the entrepreneurial eco-system by bridging that gap and providing the required support to budding entrepreneurs. The unique platform of Meraki assembles top angel investors and venture capitalists of the country, who evaluates the B-Plan pitch of the students. This in turn increases the chances of deserving ideas to get angel funding and/or Incubator sponsorship.
